At just 18, Gukesh became the youngest world chess champion in history after defeating Ding Liren in December 2024. However, his reign has not been without challenges, as Magnus Carlsen and other top players have criticised his gameplay.
Speaking to The Times of India, Gukesh brushed off the negativity, saying, "When you reach the World Championship, criticism is inevitable. People are free to say what they want. I focus on my job, and negative comments only motivate me."
Gukesh, currently ranked world No.3, and Arjun Erigaisi, now at No.4, are set to compete in the Paris leg of the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam Tour from April 7 to 14. The tournament will also feature Anand, Gujrathi, Praggnanandhaa, Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Vincent Keymer.
While their moves on the chessboard continue to make headlines, their unexpected dance performances have now become a talking point online. Watch the viral video and let us know what you think!
